      Your primary gig is making $125,000 an hour. If you can’t do that because you’re busy writing a newsletter you got to think about the opportunity cost.
      I mean, I guess maybe you can just fire off an email in 5 minutes so it makes sense that way. But they had these huge businesses with all these employees to sell a product for a fraction of what they would have made working on something else. It just seems weird.

      Interesting. Stansberry was part of Bill Bonner's Agora Financial group and Bill definitely predicted the 2008 crash as far back as at least 2006. I was one of Bill's subscribers and I remember having an argument in December 2006 (at a wedding) with a banker where I predicted the 2008 crash based on Bill's writings. The banker's position was there was not going to be a crash, nobody was going to get hurt, and Bernanke was the most brilliant economist in the world. (Unfortunately I'm not joking, that was literally his position.)

      I should clarify that people need to be very careful of which information they follow on the Internet. Back in the early days of web based financial services, it was common for small groups of "researchers and professional chart technicians" to release information and predictions based on their "findings" and unfortunately these were just schemes to suck the unwitting general public into taking the other side of the scammer's trades. With the ineptitude of the current SEC, this type of bogus info dissemination is all over the place today, and you need to REALLY be careful. No one knows WHY markets move unless they know the very specific people who have the money and motivation to actually do it(and those people do exist), so trusting random internet "experts" in clown clothes is dangerous.

    Just as a curiosity, in 2005 during one of my economics classes ( as an uni undergrad student) the topic was the looming economic crisis in the USA caused by risk caused by large quantities of bad loans taken by major financial institutions related to housing and mortgages. This was discussed as a known and understood issue among academics at the time, my professor even implied and discussed the inability of other states to dig the USA out of their financial issues because no other economy is big enough to bail out the us banks. Since the causes were well known, the situation was so clear to be studied in universities in the UK, how come nobody did anything??? I always found incredible to believe this crisis was nothing other than planned and wanted by large operators that made billions in the process getting rid of weaker competitors and siphoning even more money out of governments and pension funds.
